New feature

Set Answer-By Dates And Reminders

November 4, 2026

You can now set an answer-by date on a Kit Page, have ScriptCut send reminders, and see in Activity when your client opened the kit without answering.

What it is

In the Kit Page window, the Deadlines section holds an answer-by date and reminders for that client. Set the date once and ScriptCut handles the nudging, so you are not the one chasing a reply.

The problem it removes

You send a kit, the clock is running on a launch or a posting schedule, and you have no way to know if your client even opened the page. Deadlines gives the client a visible date to work against, and reminders keep the kit on their radar without another message from you.

How it works

Open the Kit Page window and expand Deadlines to set the answer-by date and turn on reminders for that client. The Activity section tracks answers and answer speed, and it opens by itself when something is waiting. So if a podcast host has not approved the three clips due before a Friday post, you can open Activity and see they opened the kit on Wednesday and never answered, instead of guessing whether your message landed.

Who it helps

Anyone who hands off review to a client and needs clips approved by a real deadline: an agency juggling several accounts, a producer locking a cut before a release date, a marketer who needs sign off before a campaign goes live. The date gives the client a clear target, and Activity tells you whether a nudge or a phone call is the next move.

frequently asked questions

Set Answer-By Dates And Reminders FAQs

Where do I set the answer-by date?

Open the Kit Page window for that project and expand the Deadlines section, where you set the answer-by date and turn reminders on.

Does my client see the deadline?

Yes, the answer-by date appears on their Kit Page so they know what they are working against.

How do I know if my client has looked at the kit?

The Activity section of the Kit Page window shows answers and answer speed, and it opens by itself when something is still waiting on them.

Who sends the reminders?

ScriptCut sends them once reminders are switched on in the Deadlines section, so you do not have to message the client yourself.

Can I set a different deadline for each client?

Kit Page parts, including Deadlines, are switched on per client in the Kit Page window, so each client's kit can have its own answer-by date.

Does this work for projects with multiple clips?

Yes, the Kit Page already groups clips under each project row, and the Deadlines and Activity sections apply to that client's whole kit.
